    I used to sell cars for a living and the issues you were having with your car as far as the dents and marks were 100% the sales manager giving you the run around but using the sales person to be the voice. I can’t tell you how many times my manager would have me tell the customer one thing and then he wouldn’t honor it then he would come in at the end and look like a hero. I work in the car business two years just to sharpen my sales skills and so I can write a book on the dark side of car sales. All in all, the sales manager is usually the person making your experience a bad one. Sales people have 0% control other than taking you on test drives and agreeing to numbers that the sales manager provides.

    I really appreciate your honesty & exposing the dark side. I am on the hunt as of now & it's been very disheartening. I don't mean to sound "hippie" but I feel a person's "energy" almost 90% of the time. Every salesman I've spoken to personally has left me with that "bad feeling" I get.. like their intentions are not good. Can you tell me how I may find a specific model & trim myself??? I keep getting "baited" into thinking they've found the trim I'm looking for (without having to order) I then find out the truck is reserved or a buyer lined up (but wait there's more) ironically they offer me to come & settle for the closest option they have available or...order it😑 any advice for me?

    Just a tip I always keep a glass cutter in all my glove boxes so if you get a chip in your windshield pull over as soon as you can and take the glass cutter and cut a circle around the chip so it will not crack. This will stop it from traveling across the wind shield saving you hundreds to replace. Then you can have the chip filled so it is hidden for around $50.00 vs several hundred. This really works I have do this to 50+ vehicles over the years.

    I saw your truck and said, that's my truck!! I have the 2019 all black RAM Laramie. Have had mine for 4 months. On the auto unlock, I've not had any issues once I learned what locks it and what unlocks it. All a matter of hand and thumb location. On the GPS, I've had a different issue. Sometimes when I first drive off in the morning, it will show me out in the field next to the road I'm on. That auto corrects after a while and I'm back on the road, according to my GPS at least. I haven't had the issue of it taking me somewhere other than where I want to go. I have had that issue on my Harley, however. That GPS is a Garmin so you might be on to something there. One issue I have had was the backup camera will stay on when I start driving. I've found that if I punch up the backup camera on the big screen and then close it, it will go away and the GPS will come back on. As for the screen itself, yes it is freaking awesome. It's the nicest one I've ever had. When I have buddies ride with me, they comment on two things immediately. First is how much room there is in the cab Including the backseat. The second is the screen. They can't believe how big and clear it is. Now, all that said, I have to agree with the earlier comment about Tesla. My daughter has a Tesla Model 3 and her screen puts mine to shame. Of course that is all she has, no other gauges. Everything is on her screen. Loved your review.

    One more tip. When you get a rock chip in your windshield to help prevent it from cracking before you use the glass cutter on the chip crack one of the door windows a 1/4 of a inch too keep from causing pressure when opening and closing the door until you do the scoring around the chip or chips.

    I had a 2017 Big Horn that had some paint issues. I filled out a survey with complaints of the paint and they reached out to me. They actually paid to have my entire hood repainted. I would recommend that you contact FCA about the paint, they are very responsive. I have the same 2019 truck and I love it! The panoramic roof is awesome!

    For the salesman, I have learned that once the sale is made, they are basically done with you. Before the sale super responsive friendly and helpful. They will come in early and stay late for you. They will respond to text messages late at night or early in the morning. After the sale you should expect almost nothing. If you want something that could cost the dealership time or money you will be lucky to get a delayed text response. If you understand that, you will be more happy in the future. If possible, always make sure you do a good test drive and test everything before you buy, because once you buy, even if it’s a very legit concern, it will be very hard for you to get fixed by the dealership. I would have been easier to buy a different truck than fix something. Also never buy with the promise that they will fix something after you buy. This is my experience.

    Jeff Hirata All very true! Unless you have a relationship with a dealer and dealership that you have bought vehicles multiple times from. I know that doesn’t happen with most people, but I’ve bought 4 vehicles from my specific dealership in the past 5 years and the reason my wife and I go back is because of how we’re treated before and after the sale. That I have to say has a lot to do with management and good employees. 👍

    100% agree!! Not just RAM but also applies to all brands. I experienced what you described at Cadillac, Ford, Toyota, Nissan and Subaru. Subaru was the worst! This dont matter what year or decade either, this has been over 25 years, replacing cars every 3 years. Bottomline is it depends on each dealerships training and more importantly each individual sales persons attitude to making the difference or not.

    Great review brother. I just bought a 2021 night edition. I love it more than my 2 previous 1500's. Black is so tough. A little tip, take your truck back to your friend with at the detail shop. Have him do a 2 step paint correction, and the have him do a ceramic coating. It will help prevent the paint from the rock chips, and the black paint will look like a custom paint job. Good luck with the rest of the truck life.

Not like my other trucks like GM 6 litre and Ford 4.6. Now my other trucks were decent but this Ram is by far nicer. Better ride. More luxurious. Gas is averaging 21 miles per gallon on highway. (Not bad) doing 110 k’s. Great interior design and style all around.

    So as far as the tailgate issue with the linex, here's my fix. Open the tailgate, close it slowly and watch where it hits the rubber bumpers on each side (about half way down each side of the tailgate). Now hold the tailgate against them and mark the linex at the top and bottom of the rubber bumpers. Take a sharp utility knife and carve the linex on the edge from the top line you made to the bottom line. (About an inch and a half) being careful not to carve into the paint. You should have about a 3/8" flat on an angle when your done. It looks good, it's easy, and the tailgate closes like a dream again. Just did my 2020 Ram. Didn't like slamming it hard to close it.

    the ram is fine for a short while. I had three chryslers in a row with the ram being the final one. my work vehicle is also a dodge. my ram had problems with the screen dying, the tailgate would fall open by its self along with several more issues. my work dodge has been in for repairs more times than I can count including a complete rebuild of the motor after the hemi started making a knocking noise. the rams look nice on paper but good luck getting them to last you without major issues paying out of pocket.

    My last two Chrysler vehicles had the keyless enter and go and I found that if I kept the key fob in the same pocket as my cellphone it sometimes wouldn't unlock when you grabbed the door handle it must mess with the signal or something. Not sure if that's applicable to your situation but it was something I noticed. Love the truck, keep up the good content.

    Regarding the tires: I own a 2016 RAM Big Horn, and it came with the Goodyear Wrangler SR-A's. They lasted 65 K Kms. (About 45 K miles). Never had any trouble with them, and they seemed pretty decent in the rain and snow. I replaced them with Michelin Defender LTX M+S tires. They're a really good all-round tire, but just a note, they ride much firmer than the SR-A's did. So much so, that I might go back to a softer tire. They won't last as long as the Michelin's but I prefer a smoother ride. I'll have to wait 5 years for the Michelin's to wear out, now! LOL!

They actually said it was due to transport and off loading the truck. they sent it to an outside body shop to have the scratches and chips repaired.

    Yeah the Navigation is far from accurate on every Dodge I've seen. I recently bought a 2011 Ram Sport and traveled a couple of hours to pick it up. Tried to use the Nav to get back home and it didn't recognize some well known roads. Being so old, I wasn't able to get updates for it either. Not even paid updates. I do love that huge touch screen!

    Also, I believe there is a personal "safety" feature which is to the effect of 'if the vehicle lock mechanism is LOCKED from the lock button on the interior of the door it should not immediately unlock from a signal from the key fob of keyless entry." When we got my wife's Town and Country, the keyless lock/key 'n go was described as making it impossible to lock your keys in the vehicle. Of course, my rock star wife locked her keys in the vehicle. A friend who is a Chrysler engineer revealed that there was a code design which prevented entry into the vehicle even with a valid key fob in proximity. Basically, it was: If valid key fob #1 is in the vehicle and recognized and the lock mechanism for the vehicle is activated on the interior of the vehicle, any other key fob cannot supercede #1's control {within whatever time period} and unlock the vehicle. His explanation was in the event of a personal emergency (think domestic battery), if #1 gets into the vehicle and locks it by pushing the button on the interior of the door handle, #2 cannot gain access and inflict harm. My experiments confirmed this to be the case. Try some variations and see what you get!

I had a tight fit backing my truck in, I opened the door to see where I was so I did not have to move the mirror, the truck stopped, applied the E-brake and put itself in park. I thought something was wrong so I tried again and the same thing happened. Other than that I love my truck.

    The engineblock is the same, the lifters, drivetrain and aux. Are designed new. If you take proper care of it it won't give you many headaches. If you trash it, you will suffer. Change the wheels and tires to different size, than change your differentials front and rear or you will fuck up your drivetrain.

I found myself always using 4x4. And my BIGGEST complaint is the paint. There has been times where I barely rubbed against my truck or bumped it and oh look new scratches out of nowhere.
